Which is better: AIIMS Patna or AIIMS Raipur?
As one of my friends is from AIIMS Raipur, I have some knowledge about it. Let me share some of the facts of AIIMS Raipur:
- Many students claim that Raipur is a better place to stay than Patna.
- The academics here are really good and are constantly updating.
- The faculties are highly experienced and very cooperative.
- The faculties even come up with certain tips and tricks which help the students to easily remember theories or experiments.
- The first year MBBS students are housed in 3 BHK flats with each room shared by 5 students.
- The 3rd year students get single rooms with attached bathrooms, if there is vacancy. If not, 2 students live on a sharing basis.
- All the necessary facilities are available, like 24hrs hot water supply, etc.
The college organizes functions for various occasions. Students get to witness marathons, dance events, streetplays, and all sorts of cultural and sports activities. Therefore students at AIIMS Raipur are quite well off.
Should I opt for AIIMS Raipur over AIIMS Jodhpur if I am from Maharashtra as Jodhpur is further away? I am generally looking for good college and hostel facilities and infrastructure.
Many students are confused while choosing their AIIMS College. AIIMS Raipur is usually ranked low in the list of 2012 implemented AIIMS.So firstI will address the misconceptions that l led to this conclusion:
-
People think that the hostel is far from the campus. When in reality you will be staying in the residential complex. You can come to the campus easily via a bus. Also you will be free from the fear of seniors. Also after a year you will be given single rooms at the hostel itself.
-
To have a look at its infrastructure, people refer to its old pictures which are misleading. The college and hostel are in fact massive and house thousands of students.
-
There is a rumour that AIIMS Raipur campus is incomplete. In reality, a dental college is being constructed.
-
People assume that since it’s located in Raipur, the crowd is also below average.
The only flaw is that the city needs development. All AIIMSs get equal funding and faculty distributed evenly. Yet AIIMS Raipur is underrated.
Why do you think most of the students choose AIIMS Raipur over AIIMS Patna?
The reason why students prefer AIIMS Raipur to AIIMS Patna is because of its modern day facilities and high quality education.
-
The hostel services are exceptionally good. The rooms are hygienic and well furnished.
-
It is located barely 15–20 minutes from the heart of the city of Raipur, which has enough places to hang out.
Raipur city is now among the fast developing cities of India and you won’t regret joining this college.
Should I go for SMS Medical College, Jaipur or for AIIMS Raipur (or maybe AIIMS Rishikesh)?
It is recommended that you enroll in SMS, Jaipur. The following are the benefits of SMS over AIIMS:
1. Old and well-established.
2. A higher patient load compared to non-Delhi AIIMS.
3. Arguably superior facilities.
4. You will have a state quota for the PG entrance exam, which is unquestionably important.
In terms of clinical exposure and teachers, SMS Jaipur far outperforms any of the new AIIMs.

I have a choice between AIIMS Raipur and Seth GSMC Mumbai for MBBS which one would be better considering the future post-graduation?
It is widely held that the Mumbai work structure is extremely beneficial and makes you more confident and open.
GSMC has a bond, so you must work for a year after graduation, whereas AIIMS does not have a bond. As one of the most prominent leading institutes in Maharashtra, GSMC has excellent technical infrastructure. It has a higher patient flow, which is very important. It also has more advanced clinical departments. The faculty is an incredible and enthusiastic supporter. It is affiliated with other BMC colleges, giving you more opportunities, and it is also affiliated with prestigious institutions such as Tata Memorial and Wadia Hospital.
AIIMS Raipur is a good choice because of the AIIMS brand, infrastructure, and smaller batch size, but GSMC is still suggested.
What if I am rejected at the medical fitness test at AIIMS Raipur during admissions for an MBBS?
AIIMS Raipur Admission for the MBBS program is based on merit in NEET UG followed by counselling. On selection, candidates must appear for a general medical fitness test conducted by the institute. The medical fitness test is conducted for all medical aspirants to ensure that they do not have any underlying medical conditions that might be an issue during training or affect patients in any way.
In case, students have any serious medical conditions such as progressive immunodeficiency or Autoimmune Disorders that might affect both medical candidates and patients, AIIMS will create a medical board consisting of senior faculties who are well-experienced from various departments. The case will be discussed from all perspectives and a fair decision will be made. Candidates are advised not to be anxious or lose hope. The medical board will decide on careful evaluation.
When I search the net AIIMS Raipur have great facilities but it is less prefered than AIIMS Rishikesh. Why is there some problems with AIIMS Raipur?
It’s true that AIIMS Raipur is less preferred among the AIIMS. However, the hospital facilities and the patient load that they cater to are pretty good. Also, the campus is within the city, which is a plus point. But the campus facilities are not that good. The hostels are situated 1-2 km away from the main campus. The sports facilities on campus are also not that good. Also, there are rumors about the existence of the Naxalite community in the region. There are some of the reasons why students prefer other AIIMS over the Raipur campus.
